location misses TracUriRoot for webadmin plugin

[jhammel@…]

I am running a local instance of trac for testing, v0.11dev. Using webadmin from ​http://svn.edgewall.com/repos/trac/sandbox/webadmin

The relavent section of my httpd.conf (Apache 2.0) is

<Location /projects/myproject>
   SetHandler mod_python
   PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
   PythonOption TracEnv /home/jhammel/tmp/myproject
   PythonOption TracUriRoot /projects/myproject
</Location>

The admin button will successfully take me to ​http://localhost/projects/myproject/admin

However, when I try to click on the links on the left, they take me to (for instance) ​http://localhost/admin/general/logging, which of course gives me a not found error.

Is the base_url parameter in your trac.ini file defined as expected?

[jhammel@…]

Yes, that fixes it. I'm not running behind any proxy or what not, but evidentally trac couldn't find the root on its own. Thanks.

I'm not sure whether the comment is really up to date. Need to check, I thought is was actually a mandatory parameter with the latest Trac release.

Our trac is accessible from two different URLs, http://internal/trac (from inside the firewall) and http://external.companyname.com/trac (from outside).

I can't set base_url to a fully qualified URL because of this. Can I get webadmin to run properly anyway? I couldn't the last time I tried a few days ago.

I think some other folks have a similar problem with http vs. https URLs for internal vs. external. Hope you don't mind my reopening this to make sure this issue isn't lost. Can base_url be just the "path" part of a URL, omitting the scheme://host:port part?

The URLs in the webadmin should be no different from the URLs generated by other Trac modules. It might be that some old version of the plugin didn't get this right, but I don't think it can still be the case.
